    The main protaganist is a man whose lost his memory
    ..we find he a married man had just suddenly fallen in gay love with a man , but someone had crashed into the car, hence his loss of memory
    … The writing in this drama is the most contrived ever
    Tonight’s episode episode with stereotypical UKIP voter voices overlayed

      I’m staggered that any adult with kids portrayed on the tele, just accepts being sworn at by their offspring. The child in this series continually swears at her father, which I find uncomfortable to watch, so what ARE the scriptwriters thinking ? The threat of a good hiding from my parents was enough to make me behave, and wouldn’t have dared sworn at them – even as an adult it didn’t occur to me to do so. Manners are everything in this world, but not so in tele land.

        This is probably natural behaviour in London were BBC scriptwriters are in a daze due to drugs and therefore the children haven’t been given their Prozac.
        Up north in Brexit land the children are naturally jolly but make a mess. The rudest thing children do in the north is to phone you up and say “I’m bored” and then hang up.

      Excellent. The same bbc who mocked the POTUS for using the Whales spelling of Wales. At least that was a real word an easy mistake to make. The Americans spell lots of words differently, such as neighbor, color etc. I’m sure they will know how to spell Lincoln though.

    Both countries are a serious threat to the world, and both have appalling human rights records, yet the beeb report shows none of the personal animosity, sarcasm and condescension they reserve for the leader of our closest ally. They hate Trump so much they prefer monstrous regimes like those or that of Iran, on the basis of ‘my enemy’s enemy is my friend’.

      From what I’ve read, Hitlery Clinton sold lots of very dangerous weapons to North Korea in exchange for lots of money paid into the Clinton Foundation. And sold 20% of the US Uranium reserves to Russia, again for lots of money paid into the Clinton Foundation. It seems Robert Mueller was her bag carrier; he actually took Uranium samples to Russia for them to analyse before sealing the deal.

      No doubt, before President Trump is finished this will all come out in court and the bad guys will be incarcerated for life, possibly in Guantanamo Bay.

      Now if I was running the far-left bbc collective this would be my main subject for an in-depth investigation. But then I’m not a Trump hating, know nothing swamp rat.

    There is a big EU meeting starting today.
    As I understand it there are no major serious or unexpected issues. It is fairly routine, although there is the unedifying task of divvying up jobs for the unelected apparatchiks.
    So why therefore has the biased BBC chosen to present Toady live from Brussels with Katya Adler?
    Was she short of work?
    Are they ‘sending a message’ by having yet another all-female line-up?
    Or are they deliberately trying to normalise the EU and thus seek to influence listeners by portraying the whole thing as a modern, reasonable institution which they think we should all support?
    They even featured an interview with the gender-equality commissioner (a female, of course).
    After being banged to rights over their deliberate bias in the Tory leadership debate, you’d think they might take a step back for a while, but no.
    Obsessed with their own self-important narratives, the BBC is rotten to the core.

    TOADY Watch #4

    Rumpole is up and down like a toilet seat in a monastery. He is objecting here, objecting there, objecting everywhere about Katya Adler’s leading questions to Mark Rutter, Prime Minister of the Netherlands. The Judge, listening at home, becomes very irritated and rebukes Adler repeatedly in response to Rumpole’s objections. He switches off R4 and goes to listen to the Goon Show on R4 Extra.

    Adler, on her TOADY debut, is in danger of being held in contempt and spending a night in a cell before apologising to the Judge and his Court.

        Apologies: Am at the alliterations a bit heavy today. What have I been eating? Drinking? Reading? Listening to? I should have worked in advertising!

        Apologies, too, for misspelling Mark Rutte’s surname.

        Ramping up the doubts. Pushing Project Fear. I love it. Keep it up, BBC, don’t stop. Think I have learned a few lessons about advertising in life. I hope the Beeb can dig up Cable a few more times, before Jo Swinson gets enthroned, for old Vince to insult a few more old Brits via BBC R4 and upset their grandchildren into voting for TBP.

          Bob Geldof, Yvette Cooper and Stan Collymore vowed to take at least one Syrian refugee into their homes. Lily Allen pledged to rent out her home to refugees after doing a tearful apology to some in Calais on behalf of the people of the UK for their dreadful treatment by the British government.

          On Sept 4 2015, Bob Geldof was quoted by the Guardian as saying: “I’m prepared – I’m lucky, I’ve a place in Kent and a flat in London – me and Jeanne [his partner] would be prepared to take three families immediately in our place in Kent and a family in our flat in London, immediately, and put them up until such time as they can get going and get a purchase on their future.”

          Yvette Cooper made a similar pledge, and reportedly said: “If that’s what it took and that’s what was needed, then of course, I think lots of people would be.”

          Former Liverpool footballer Stan Collymore wrote in a tweet “If my government allows, I’ll take a Syrian family in my home for a year, tomorrow.”

          They are not the only celebrities who offered their support – JK Rowling took part in the Refugees Welcome campaign at the time, but stopped short of opening her home to those fleeing Syria.

          In this list of political and celebrity hypocrites, let us not forget Lily Allen, who after pledging to rent out her expensive London flat to refugees but then instead rented it out to some rich Italians

          She complained on Twitter when they refused to move out when she wanted it back.

          I wonder if they followed through and kept their promises…

      Stew, you are right to be highly sceptical. There was research done on this but it dates back to the days of bus conductors on double deckers with stairs. Remember them? An uncle of mine was a London ‘clippie’.

      The drivers were more prone to obesity and heart attacks. In contrast, the conductors, who led a very active working life, had a better life expectancy. I think this was common knowledge at the time so people who had those sedentary driving jobs responded by taking more exercise. Seem to recall that it was common to find taxi-drivers on golf courses early in the morning or late afternoon after or before going to work on a night shift, for example.

        Indeed Up2snuff, from the 1940’s to the early 1960’s when I lived and worked in London all buses had a bus conductor on board and the stopping time was much shorter because the conductor took the money not the driver, further rarely would there ever be any trouble from roudy passengers and if so the conductor would throw those idiots off the bus and would always help an elderly passenger on or off the bus- I cannot understand why we ever got rid of the bus conductors- all bus traffic ran more smoothly then. God the authorities do make some daft descions.

          Inflation, mate, inflation. Nothing to do with God. 😉 It is when man thinks he is god that it all goes ‘Pete Tong’ as ‘they’ say.

          The bus companies were under financial pressure, especially when Ted Heath coped with the latest oil crisis and shortage by putting up taxes on fuel.

          Little did I know then – when I occasionally rode a bus to school in the 1960s instead of walking the mile or so – that 1. that the UK was about to enter a period of drastic inflation, made worse by Ted Heath & his useless CoE, Tony Barber, 2. that I would have to study Economics in adult life, and 3. Blair & Brown & the BBC [ thanks, Steffie 🙂 ] would turn me into even more of an economist.

    Resident Norfolk Sceptic: “Yeaher roight.”

    BBC, sit down have a little think. You are trying to claim, with the help of the EU Information Commissar, that Russian ‘bots’ invaded Farcebook, Twelter and all the other on-line platforms, across twenty-eight countries and however many languages, and not just tried to influence people into voting for anti-EU or so-called ‘populist’ or so-called ‘Far Right’ political Parties, including one single-issue Party set up just six weeks beforehand but did influence them? Really?

    Really?

    Three years after the spectre of overseas influence in elections was first raised?

      ajs, think you have spotted one of the BBC’s ’causes célèbres’.

      Apparently it is only in the UK where old people go to churches and other places of worship and when they stop the building becomes redundant. In China, also full of an ageing population (remember that One Child Policy, BBC?), is it not possible that a Mosque becomes redundant in time?

      To be fair, the BBC have briefly mentioned in my hearing, very briefly, on R4 & the web-site, the crackdown on Roman Catholics and the destruction of some RC churches. Also on R4’s ‘Sunday’, they have briefly mentioned in my hearing that persecution of the Christians in House Churches in China has been ramped up once again by the authorities.

      But this Mosque destruction and ‘persecution of Muslims’-thing is the fourth or fifth outing on R4 and the w-s, I think, that I have seen. There may have been more.

      Bias? What bias?

    TOADY Watch #6

    Mutti Merkel and Macron are at odds.

    Really? It was not long ago that the BBC were telling me that newbie Macron and Mutti were bosom-buddies. That the President had been anointed by Mutti to ‘save the EU’ and was the man for the job.

    Another BBC puzzle. The strange episode of Mutti shaking like a leaf, during an official reception and playing of national anthems for the visit of the new Ukrainian President, was mentioned in passing on R4 in my hearing and then more. No ongoing concern from the BBC. Mutti is, after all, a ‘wimmin’. Should you not be concerned, BBC, about the health of a ‘wimmin’ in a major European leadership role in this age of equality?

    A Skripal-like lack of curiosity on show from BBC R4 & the BBC’s N&CA department.

    Especially when the TOADY Prog is fronted from Brussels by the BBC’s Europe Correspondent today.

      Doobster,
      Your two contributions above.

      Best part is, most people are no longer listening. These bleatings by the deranged Marxists fall on deaf ears. It’s now become like the wallpaper in the lounge: too familiar to notice anymore.

        Indeed G . They are getting louder and louder as like you say, no-one is listening anymore. The Left are in meltdown, we can all see it in their tweets, their visible anger on TV etc etc .

        They are so used to having it all their own way, they cant comprehend people now questioning them, and really cant comprehend folk dis-agreeing with them. Just look at the BBC for example, especially Maitliss, Sopel, Coburn etc.

        Brexit really awoke middle England and boy, do the left not like it up em. Look at how many protests / rallies are taking place. Its all the Lefties. They are losing grip !! Loving it.

          I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the bbc, in the past have managed to censor the “news” in a way that shaped our view of the world around us. Now that we have alternative news sources we can see how skewed their “reality” is. People are now looking at the way the bbc have behaved re Brexit and are now wondering what else they have been lying to us about.
          Hence their claims that the internet is full of “fake news”. Fake because it doesn’t fit the narrative that they are feeding us.
          I truly believe the bbc’s days are numbered.

    Took some courage (or maybe some insider spite?) to put up on the BBC w-s, the Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Telegraph as the first three front pages today. Get the bad news out of the way straight away. At least their pals at the Grauniad let them off lightly.

    What’s the deal with MaajidNawaz snarly LBC peomo where he goes on hysterically that TRump has a “Muslim ban” presumably cos he once used the term ?
    There has never been a Muslim ban , only restrictions on terrorist countries
    (that Obama had already listed)
    and Saudi then Israel were the first countries that Trump visited.

    • StewGreen says:

      Ah Maajid says it’s from a BBC video
      and makes a quotation from the BBC title
      ..that is wrong cos in the video Trump doesn’t say “Muslim ban”
      He does say “complete and total shutdown of muslims entering the united states”
      that was the temporary thing , and despite the phrase did not apply to all Muslims from all countries of course.

    TOADY Watch #7

    The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, has done his sums. He has decided to be blunt with the great and the good of the financial world at a Mansion House dinner tonight. If we Brexit without a deal, we will have put £26.6billion at risk. (Note that specific .6, btw.)

    However, if we Brexit with a deal we are held liable to pay £39billion (estimated) plus possible annual extras to the EU.

    Now, Phil, you may have to take off your socks and shoes and borrow a few fingers & toes from fellow guests tonight, but I think you should really re-do those spreadsheet calculations.

    No questions asked, about this curious Treasury mismatch, on TOADY this morning.

    I wonder why?

    Think of the current situation in military terms . The elction of President Trump was the equivalent of Stalingrad to the swamp liberals. Ever since they have been in retreat. Brexit was another defeat and there will be many more. They counter attack but the cause is lost for a century or more .
    The BBC chose the wrong side and will go down along with all those who tried to force identity politics and the destruction of western values down our throats. Their day is done
